Best peace tour - Our guide Shin was awesome. He shared so many personal stories which we really appreciated and made for a great informative tour, even though it was sombre at times his positive outlook quickly lifted our spirits. Would highly recommend this tour and Shin as a guide.

Great tour with Shin - We loved our tour, as well as our guide Shin who had many personal insights that we would never get by ourselves. Riding was a fantastic way to experience Hiroshima as there was so much to see. The bikes were in good condition and easy to ride. Even our teenage children highly recommend this tour!

Informative and interesting tour - loved the ebikes! - Informative and interesting tour. Very somber at the end, but interesting to learn about the history of Hiroshima from a guide who had Grandparents involved. Also, the e-bikes were fun! What a great way to quickly cover a lot of ground in the city.

Incredible and surreal experience - Amazing experience. We were lucky enough to be guided by Shin, who is a second generation survivor, and it was incredible and emotional. Being in the area was surreal but with Shin’s stories, it made the tour even more special to be a part of.

Sightseeing done right! - What an amazing way to see Hiroshima. Shin was an amazing guide who was so passionate and knowledgeable! He really made us feel so welcome and grateful to be able to see Hiroshima and understand its rich history. I highly recommend this experience to everyone visiting Hiroshima and can’t wait to take my family on the tour when we can visit some time in the future.

Must do tour while in Hiroshima - Although Shin’s lively personality made the bike tour informative and enjoyable, it was his personal connection to August 6, 1945 that made the tour memorable. Thank you for sharing your unique insight!

An amazing experience you cannot miss - Our guide Shin was not just an English Rock Legend but also a very knowledgeable and kind person. He has a direct family connection to the bombing and city and spoke about creating peace. An amazing experience.

Our Greart Hiroshima Experience - Shin was excellent in his tour and knowledge across a sphere of information and history across the Hiroshima experience. Very sobering to hear his family story and some still alive today and how the community honour their people directly impacted by the bombing. We travelled with a Canadian couple who were very accommodating and made for a very enjoyable three hour tour. We only had one issue, the ebikes are under sized and took away some of the gloss on an otherwise great tour. The school children by the hundreds were on school excursions and are a credit to the Japanese people for their excellent behaviour, assistance and total respect.....not a mobile phone was sighted.!
